If I invent a new car, a fantastic car that goes very fast and never breaks down, and then you tell me "NO NO ONE CAN BUY YOUR CAR, YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO MAKE MONEY HERE!..... B-but gib me one... p-plz..." and I tell you to fuck off am I being petty? No, you're (california) being a cunt.

Apples and oranges. One is a form of transportation, the other a military grade weapon that the average civilian should never find a use for please don't argue it's for self defence, that would be just rediculous

And yet the one made for transportation kills more people than the one designed to kill people every year... How odd... Also "military grade" is an extremely broad term you're using to appeal to emotion, revolves at one point were considered military grade for god sake...

Also .50 BMG is a fantastic hunting round for alaskan brown bear, moose, and elk.

I see where you are going with this, but let me refute you at the very basic idea.
The intended use of any car/truck whatever is to transport - thus providing vital services in all imaginable aspects of life.
The use of a weapon is to kill/wound - defence, offense it doesn't matter. See where I'm going with this? Banning something that's used to better our lives is simply stupid. Banning something that's primarily used by the military (or police) hence the expression military grade weapon around the globe, for civilian use is a smart, precautious move. Seriously now, who the fuck would even need such a thing, what you wanna do, shoot thorugh five nigga burglars? Buy yourself a damn shotgun and sleep soundly also god damn trigger happy muricans, you're fucking crazy

so i can't buy a hummer as it is military grade? try getting out of manslaughter when you crash into somebody SIR the Car isn't INTENDED to kill people so that means his death means less. On that note what do you mean Better your life? is getting somewhere faster worth another human beings life?

And no there are 50BMG TARGET rifles, the primary use of a firearm is to launch a projectile not to Kill something. if this was about an Olympic archery company you wouldn't be all THIS IS WEAPON USED TO KILL even though an arrow to the heart works just as well as a bullet.

Barretts makes more than just the M107 or M98. The M95 is not used by the military yet still fires the 50BMG. also its not like i need your permission to buy something anyway.

also you are wanting to ban there rifles because of what they are Capable of. yet don't use the cars argument because they are not capable of killing?....... you have two pieces of technology that are capable of killing people yet its okay because it makes someones life easier you can admit that we use these technologies legally and accept the risk that some deaths from people who use them illegally.

See the great thing is unlike your country I'm not automatically assumed that I will do wrong with something before I even have it, so I'm allowed to have it if I have a clean criminal history. So what does that say about cars if it's primary use is to make our lives easier yet it kills so many lives every year? Same with hammers, swimming pools, kitchen knives, all kill more people than rifles every year. I already gave you a reason as well, fantastic for hunting alaskan brown bear, moose, and elk, you just ignored that. You'd like to ban something someone can use to put food on the table for their family.

Please don't go into a reductio ad absurdum argument, It's a dumb way to argue your point. You compare various objects and utilities whose primary function or intended use isn't to kill but to bring relaxation, or serve tasks that you perform virtually on a daily basis, can you say the same of a .50MG rifle? Putting food on the table? You can do that with far less destructive/dangerous (and way cheaper) weapons.
Yeah I will assume that you're going to do dumb shit with an overpowered military grade weapon, like shooting up schools which seems like your national past time.
By the way, I can own a gun in my country, however it's not as easy to get a licence, I'd have to go through extensive background checks, psychology tests, use and maintenance education and so on. But guess what, nobody feels that there is a need to get a gun, so very few people actually have licences. my father actually has had one for a long time now, he's licenced to own a Zastava handgun from his army days
